I can tell that it's impressively put together and I like the way you can focus on the different windows, but without clear directives it can be challenging to get into. I like the visuals and music, and the overall systems are spot-on! Really impressive work for a jam.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1041909,"author_name":"6Knowledge","author_uid":"6knowledge","epoch":1713265002,"text":"The amount of motion sickness was worth the 5 minutes of playing I could do.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1041952,"author_name":"minjutin","author_uid":"minjutin","epoch":1713265304,"text":"This game just proved that I would be the worst bus driver.
